We checked in late but it was a great stay. They accommodated my late request to include my dog--very appreciated! Great view. Could use more indirect lighting-- lamps and under counter kitchen lighting--- and a fan or two on hot days would make it more comfortable--- just a suggestion.

No curtains on the windows as represented in the pictures. Rep came and cleaned the area and readjusted the blinds to half closed. Bedroom blinds were all the way to the top of the window. Noisy neighbors upstairs. Not service for 4 as stated.
